[RESEND PATCH v3 7/8] format-patch: move output_directory logic later

In a future patch, we need to create the output_directory after the branch_name logic. Simply transpose this logic later in the function so that this happens. (This patch is best viewed with `git diff --color-moved`.)

Note that this logic only depends on `git_config` and the parseopt logic and is depended on by the patch creation logic which is directly below it so this move is effectively a no-op as no dependencies being reordered.
